[PATCH v9 0/6] TDX host: metadata reading tweaks and feature mandate

[Kai Huang <kai.huang@intel.com>]

This series replaces the existing TDX module metadata reading code with
a new auto-generated global metadata infrastructure for basic KVM TDX
support:

1) read "TDX_FEATURES0" field to mandate the "not clobbering RBP when
   exiting from TDX guest" feature is supported during the module
   initialization.

   Some old modules can clobber host's RBP when exiting from the TDX
   guest, and currently they can be initialized successfully.  We don't
   want to run TDX guests using such modules.  We should just fail to
   initialize them to avoid memory/CPU cycle cost of initializing TDX
   module [1].

2) provide metadata reading infrastructure which is required to read
   more metadata fields to support KVM TDX.  The patches which do so
   can be found at [2][3].

Hi Dave,

This series targets x86 tip.  This is the bare minimum pre-work to
support KVM TDX.  I appreciate if you could review and take this as we
think we have addressed all the comments.

This series has dropped all changes that are not required for TDX KVM
base support.  It includes only:
 - Host metadata infrastructure, which will be used by the KVM patches
   to get TDX module information to boot a TD.
 - The NO_RBP_MOD enforcement, which is required to avoid clobbering
   RBP when running TDX guests using old TDX modules.

The script used to auto-generate the metadata reading code in patch 3
can be found in [4].

History:

v8 -> v9:
 - Take out the "running out of reserved areas" bugfix:
   - Remove CMR reading code in patch 3.
   - Remove patch 7-8.
 - Take out the patch 5 which adds nice-to-have header file inclusions
   but it is not mandatory for KVM TDX.
 - Minor changelog improvement suggested by Rick and Reinette.
 - Rebase to tip/x86/tdx.

 v8: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1731498635.git.kai.huang@intel.com/

v7 -> v8:
 - Address Dave's comments to remove the code to print module version
   and CMRs:
   - Remove the code which reads module version in the auto-generated
     code.
   - Remove the patch which prints module version (patch 10 in v7)
   - Remove the code which prints CMRs in patch 7.
   - Update the changelog of some patches that mentioned "reading module
     version" and "print CMRs".
 - Collect Nikolay's tag.
